Lower Blood Pressure Natrually

A new study to be published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology studied the effects of a single bout of isometric handgrip therapy on systolic blood pressure and the autonomic nervous system. Canadian researchers found that in healthy normotensive individuals a single session of Zona Plus therapy resulted in a brief, instantaneous reduction in systolic blood pressure and a change in the autonomic nervous system. It is hypothesized that it could be these changes that lead to the long term alterations in blood pressure and nervous system activity observed with long term use of the Zona Plus.

The article was accepted July 21, 2009 and it can be found via DOI 10.1007/s00421-009-1142-2.

Accidentally discovered by the U.S. Air Force in the 1960’s, the Zona Plus is an isometric handgrip therapy device which uses patented technology designed to optimize the natural blood pressure lowering effects of isometric handgrip therapy.  According to the Harvard Health Letter,  “Squeezing the grip for a few minutes a day has been shown to lower blood pressure as much as a first-line antihypertension drug.”

The microcomputer inside of the Zona Plus measures the overall handgrip strength of the user before every session and then designs a tailored routine. The routine takes a total of 12 minutes and involves a series of prolonged squeezes on the device at a specific percentage of the user’s overall hand strength. Users are prompted by a small screen on the device which tells them when to squeeze and when to rest, if they need to squeeze more or less, which hand to use, and it also times and scores the therapy session.

Zona Plus therapy, when completed 5 days a week for about 8 weeks, consistently and satisfactorily lowers blood pressure naturally  in more than 90% of users who purchase the device. Studies indicate that these results are gained without negative side effects and can naturally drop users’ blood pressure into the normal range (decreases of more than 20 points systolic are common).

“I have been using the Zona Plus for a couple of months now
and the results have been remarkable. In that time my blood pressure has dropped over 30 points and for the first time in many years I no longer need medication. I would recommend Zona Plus to anyone dealing with high blood pressure, to give it a try, and start living a better quality of life.” -Barry Smith

Barry Smith was an All-American football player, who still holds records for most 100-yard receiving games in a season. He was elected to the FSU Hall of Fame for Athletics for the highest average per catch in a career at Florida State University. Barry was also a 1st round draft choice in the NFL for the Green Bay Packers where he became the NFL Man of Year. Since his NFL career Barry was tapped for the Governor’s special leadership award in physical fitness and sports in Florida.

Dr. Mark Hyman, author of New York Times Best Sellers The UltraMind Solution, The UltraSimple Diet, UltraMetabolism,, was recently introduced to the Zona Plus. After trying it himself, he is now recommending as a way to lower blood pressure naturally!

Dr. Hyman recently wrote, “This [the Zona Plus] helps activate the “relaxation” response, or the vagus nerve, a key part of the seventh key to UltraWellness. In combination with addressing other factors that trigger high blood pressure, such as inflammation and heavy metals, this is a very useful tool to deal with the caused of the “silent” killer of high blood pressure.”

Zona Health CEO Steve Wood was recently interviewed on the nationally syndicated radio program Good Day Health hosted by cardiologist Dr. Ken Kronhaus. They discussed the history of the Zona Plus as well as how it works to lower blood pressure naturally.

Interview Transcript:

Doug (Good Day Health Co-host):
“If you are on needles and pins because you have a problem with your blood pressure, Dr. Ken and I have a solution. We have been talking off and on about this new product and the fellow who is responsible for it is Steve Wood who is the President and CEO of Zona health. So with all the conversation about it Ken, we thought it would be appropriate to have Steve here. I want to call him Dr. Wood. If he is not a doctor, he ought to be. Are you a doctor Steve?”

Steve Wood:
Chuckles. “No, thank you, but I am not.”

Doug:
In a jovial tone, “You can play one on the radio for a while with us, it’s okay.”

Steve Wood:
Laughing and with an air of good-humored sarcasm, “Oh, okay.”

Doug:
“So explain a little about how you came to create this thing. As I said we have been talking a lot about it, sending people online to zona.com where they can get the free 20 page high blood pressure guide. Dr. Ken, as a matter of fact, wrote the foreword to it. Why did you get involved in this?”

Dr. Ken (Cardiologist, MD, PhD, and Good Day Health Host):
“Because blood pressure is such a big problem in America and it is a preventable, treatable easy to treat problem and I want to help people avoid the number one killer, heart attacks, and the number one disabler, stroke, and also erectile dysfunction. All these problems can be prevented by getting the blood pressure under control.”

Men’s Health editor Peter Moore was skeptical of the Zona Plus, but after 6 months of use and watching his blood pressure drop 15 points systolic and 4 points diastolic, he is a believer! He wrote a fantastic testimonial  about how the Zona Plus lowered his blood pressure naturally on his blog found here: http://mhlife.menshealth.com/2009/04/my-blood-pressure-plunging.html.

From the War Room to Your Living Room:

Discover how a fighter jet led to lower blood pressure.

G-LOC?

Gravitational Induced Loss of Consciousness. This is better known as blackout and it led to lower blood pressure. It is a problem with modern fighter aircraft The F-16, commissioned by the United States Air Force, implemented a new technology that changed the maneuverability of combat aircraft. This computer-controlled technology (fly by wire) increased the ability of planes to turn, twist and perform contortions in the air. In fact pilots say that you don’t fly an F-16, but that it flies you! This all translates to a plane that increases the demand on the pilot’s body—namely blackout from G-Force. But blackout led to accidental discovery.
G-Suite and Hand Grip and an Accident

To control blackout researchers developed the G-Suit. Simply, the G-Suit helps to keep blood in the brain and from pooling in the feet. But, the F-16 was proving that it was a bit too much and more was needed. Hence our researchers were called. They increased G-Force tolerance with a computer-monitored handgrip, job done. But, they found that some of the pilots had a steady drop in blood pressure. Our researchers were able to take this data and duplicate it with lots of people, young and old. Over and over. For twenty years. The idea worked, but getting into your hand, literally, proved to be a problem.
From the size of a house to the palm of your hand.

When researchers were studying this G-Force technology in 1969 they had the new cutting edge technology of computers to help them design the perfect protocol for the Zona Plus therapy. However, these computers were huge and the technology had not been proven. Over the next three decades as computers began to shrink, researchers were able to study the Zona Plus therapy and maximize its benefits. The result was a hand held device that can be used anywhere, anytime and utilizes a therapy that reduces blood pressure on average of 27 points.

While it seems to good to be true that a little hand held device can effective and substantially lower blood pressure, the fact is that the Zona Plus really does work! Zona Health stands behind their warranty, real unpaid customer testimonials are available and several double blind medical studies have shown the Zona Plus works!

CBS Early Show featured the Zona Plus in a special segment on October 22, 2008!
